Ironic:

The Antique Roadshow's appraisers will be at the State Archives tomorrow and Sunday. They are fishing for items to feature on the next tour. Alot of the items you see featured did not just walk into the door that day, they were found on days like this and brought to the tour the next year.

I may bring the clock and Mickey, but bringing the Mickey back to where it came from feels funny.

let us know if you bring it what they say.

No, not yet, he will give me his answer tomorrow evening when I get to work, but it sounds promising. I am glad a made him an offer before taking it to this appraisal fair. If it gets a high appraisal (and I have a feeling it will) and I hadn't made him an offer yet, I couldn't make him the offer I made him, it would not feel right.

Well, he handed the box back over and said if I really want it, I could have. He didn't sound too sure, so I told him to think about it until Wednesday, our next day of work.

I want to make sure he does want to part with it. He was impressed on the way I preserved it for him in the comic book bag and board and in a top loader.

So, it still is not officially mine

There was a person driving distance from my home who had a C-8 1954 Superman lunch box on Ebay. He wanted $1000 for and no one bid on it (that was book value at the time). I sent him an email and asked him if I could come look at it personally.

So I go to his house, he pulls it out and wow, this thing looks spectacular (better than the Ebay pics). He told me it was his lunchbox as a kid and when his mother died, he moved a piece of furniture to his house and there it was tucked away in a drawer. He said he knew it was valuable but didn't know what it was worth. I told him if he took some better pictures he could probably sell it for $600-$800 on Ebay and then to my surprise he asked me to make an offer.

I told him I really couldn't afford it but would give him $300 which was all I could afford and told him he'd do much better on Ebay. He said yes to my offer and said he could tell by the way my eyes lit up when I saw it that I wanted it for myself and wasn't looking to sell it for a profit. He was happy to have it with an owner who would appreciate it.

I never did sell it and still own it to this day. He even wrote up a little history on his memories of owning the lunchbox, the year and signed it as a bit of provenance....
